This small pimple type spot could be from an injury (such as scratching her chin), an infection, or chin acne. I would gently clean the area with warm water and antiseptic soap, and keep an eye on it for now. If it doesn't go away, it gets bigger, more of them appear, or you see redness, swelling, or pus in the area then I would take Crystal into the vet to have the area looked at and treated. Good luck, I hope this helps!
